Additionally, the wattage of a typical house fan is much higher than what your car's electrical system can provide. This can lead to the fan drawing excessive current, causing your car's battery to drain rapidly.
If you need a fan while camping, consider using one designed for use in cars. These fans are specifically made for use with the 12V power outlet in your car and are much safer and more efficient than attempting to run a 120V house fan from your cigarette lighter.
